October 26th ‘09: “007″ continues to grow hair. Don’t miss him and Sobotanyoki in “ Place Matters“!
_____________________________________________________
October 13th ‘09: “007″ is still doing fine. Watch out for him and Sabotanyoki in ” Out of Remote Control“.
___________________________________________________________
September 23rd ‘09: “007” is doing fine. He’ll next appear in “Origami My Mine“.
___________________________________________________
September 18th ‘09: “007” is growing hair like nobody’s business! He’s back in “Tomato Soup or Die!“
___________________________________________________
September 14th ‘09: “007” is doing fine and is as fast out of the start as Nyoki was!
__________________________________________________________
September 10th ‘09: “007” is back in “Rogaine, No Pain“!
____________________________________________________
September ‘09: This is “007“. I figure “007” never dies, so hopefully this won’t either. We shall find out.
Sabotanyoki will appear periodically … or appeariodically be around.
Nyoki’s Brain will be given a decent burial.
I call things I chuck in the garbage “a decent burial”.
Below this line is from the time when Nyoki lived … well!

This is Nyoki.
He cost about $8 and doesn’t take up much room. He will be my friend … if he can grow grass, that I’ll pretend is hair, from his cute little noggin.
I’ve doused him with water and will wait.
___________________________________________________________
Nyoki died on August 11th 2009. I’m not sure what the cause of death was … but possibly it was just his time. He was a good friend who just ran out of seed or something.
What do you do with a friend who dies? … transplant a new brain into their skull and see what happens!
This is Sabotanyoki! I sense haircuts will not be so frequent from now on. (“sabotan” is Japanese for cactus)
I’ll keep Nyoki’s brain for a while, under super hightech conditions, to see if he revives, but don’t hold your breath.

Nyoki has proved to be the best of the experiments. I was going to cut his grass, that I’m pretending is hair, but he said chicks dig his “fro”. I’m not sure what that means: as long as I don’t have to start forking out money for hair gel.

Nyoki is still growing grass that I’m pretending is hair. He was getting a bit uncomfortable with the hot weather, so I’ve given him another haircut. A little shorter and hopefully cooler for him.

Nyoki is growing grass, which I am pretending is hair, quite nicely. I gave him his first haircut last night. It’s probably a bit cooler for him now that the nice weather has arrived. I may give him a crewcut next time.

I came back after a week holiday and Nyoki is as grassy … that I’m pretending is hairy … as a proverbial lawn or other grassy area. Well done!
note: I’m just going to put the updates at the almost top of the page from now on: just trying to save all you Nyoki fans all that scrolling and stuff.

Nyoki has started to grow some grass that I am pretending is hair.
He will be my friend … and I will continue to douse him with water.

Nyoki is really taking this grass … that I am pretending is hair … growing business seriously. Well done Nyoki!

Nyoki is cute! Hmmm…grass is a safe bet. We’ve had grass growing in a plastic bottle from a project that is 3 years old.

A haiku for you:
This is Nyoki
He may grow grass for you
If you water him
Enjoy! ~S~

Tammy: I have plastic bottles growing in my grass! What a coincidence! hee hee!
S. Le: Nyoki enjoyed the haiku. hee hee!

Will this be as successful as Mr. Lowerback? Or the Bean/cockroach from the black lagoon
Tony // April 18, 2009 at 9:34 am |
Or have you just blown $8
Darn it’s expensive being a scientist
sweetiegirlz // April 19, 2009 at 4:20 pm |
Well, no more “Mr. Bean” for you. haha. I like him much better. Did you know I think of you each time I pass some weird toy in the store? I think ” I want to buy that and send it to Ross!!”
Tony // April 23, 2009 at 9:14 am |
Wow, he’s already got more hair than me. Maybe I should crack a section of skull off the top of my head & drop in some grass seed
Tammy // May 9, 2009 at 9:06 pm |
Nyoki appears to be a success! Aren’t you glad? Perhaps it’s because you went away on your holiday.
Now, you need a hungry cat.

Tammy: Nyoki really sprouted while I was a way. He makes my other experiment look kind of sad now.
I think the next update will have Nyoki sporting a new hairdo … which is really a grassdo because I’m still pretending.
S. Le // May 20, 2009 at 7:21 pm |
He’s doing nicely! Looks good with a “flat top.”
planetross // May 20, 2009 at 11:00 pm |
S Le: I think I’ll give him a real buzz cut the next time.
Kelly Pettit // May 21, 2009 at 2:14 pm |
Can you cut my hair for me next time? I like the artistic style you were going for. I want the same one!
Tony // May 21, 2009 at 8:56 pm |
You really got your moneys worth with this one, he is really looking good. All those haircuts & your compost pile must be getting bigger
Tammy // May 22, 2009 at 2:02 am |
Awww. He’s all nice and tidy now.
Tony // June 22, 2009 at 8:44 am |
He’s the better looking of all your experiments, definitely better looking than the evil bean/cockroach one
Tammy // August 19, 2009 at 1:18 am |
Poor Nyoki. Cause of death: Negligence. Weren’t you on vacation during that time? Hmmm?
Sabotanyoki has big grass to fill.
Tony // August 29, 2009 at 8:36 am |
Goodness his unexpected brain death is a shock to us all. However his brain trans-plant looks good
Tony // September 12, 2009 at 4:14 am |
How can I get a cactus hair style, it looks like it has great coverage. I hope Sabotanyoki can live up to Nyoki’s standards of excellence
